The result of the debate was NO CONSENSUS. Not clear from this if there is consensus to merge or not, so I'm not going to do anything. -Splashtalk 00:11, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Charles Hargrave

Not relevant, only the namesake of two not encyclopedia-worthy boats.--Carabinieri 16:34, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep if expanded. This dates back to the 19th century, so it's clearly not vanity. — Phil Welch 21:24, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
Comment:It not being vanity doesn't make it relevant.--Carabinieri 12:28, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Paying for two lifeboats and then naming them after yourself is not notable today; doing the same thing a hundred years ago makes it less notable, not more notable. paul klenk 23:40, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
    • I don't think it makes a difference either way. It only makes a difference to how much current interest there is in the matter, which isn't the same thing at all. CalJW 09:19, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep or Merge - Kingsdown Kent suggests this was one of only 5 lifeboats a place had -- this is a small number, and easy to justify enumerating them, if the place itself is notable. --Mysidia (talk) 14:02, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge into Kingsdown Kent. siafu 23:19, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
  • I don't see how a lifeboat from the 19th century, which cost 650 pounds is relevant. If we were to make an article about every average-sized lifeboat (there is nothing to indicate that this one was anything more than average-sized), which has existed since the 19th century, we'd have to really start writing.--Carabinieri 07:28, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
